Look, we all know the weekend is the time to unwind and break free from the shackles of work and responsibility for a little bit, but we’ve got things to look out for this weekend with the impending Hurricane.

Sometimes as New Yorkers (or members of the tri-state area) we need to band together and stay strong and this would be one of those times, no matter how cynical, lighthearted, or fear monger-y the media is getting about this situation.

The bottom line is: It’s A hurricane, it’s going to hit us, but we’ll make it out alive. So be smart this weekend and don’t go out. Show Irene you’re not a dummy and be safe, not stupid.
